Wish I could take the BART and see how things are going in downtown San Francisco. Too bad I’m working full-time shifts as always.

I would like to know more of Celtic, Slavic, and Sumerian mythology.

Perhaps I should check out Age of Mythology mods. Hard to do when sleeping all day.

Hua Sonrin @huasonrin.bsky.social · 14h

Definitely need to switch to morning shift if I want to continue voiceover on my days-off.

Hua Sonrin @huasonrin.bsky.social · 21h

If I was decades younger, I maybe focused on follower count.

When working 10 hours a day and mostly sleeping on days off, I barely notice.

It will not be the end of the world if I took until I’m in my 40s, 50s, or even 60s to finally book an anime role.

Just majorly disappointed of how I’m fated to waste decades grinding in gaming and manual labor and not for anime or creativity.

Despite not booking, I’m truly thankful of the audition emails by a couple of studios.

Others, I’ve been told to reapply after 6-12 months. I did that twice. Am I missing something? I need about 10 booked roles in my résumé or update my demo after adequate training?

Anime voiceover with the no remote recording feels too restrictive. Where I have to pay a toll of $2000+ to survive nearby in studio hubs for a .01% chance of booking in additional casting. Then I get discouraging replies of “don’t do anime” or I don’t belong in the industry.

Curious. Can this really happen? Physically overwork at my day job, to a point it affects my lungs for voice acting?

Hua Sonrin @huasonrin.bsky.social · 3d

Seeing every new anime and others booking. I could only feel left out because I’ve been rusty in my training and too busy working full-time.

It would’ve been easier if I switch to part-time, but I can’t afford losing my health insurance benefits.

63th week of working full-time. 11 more weeks until 2026.

Currently on my 7th week of slowly recovering before I can resume voiceover training and remote auditions.

How long do I have to overwork myself in my day job until I finally booked an anime role?

Hua Sonrin @huasonrin.bsky.social · 5d

Corn dogs and especially mozzarella sticks.

Hua Sonrin @huasonrin.bsky.social · 6d

Found this on threads. Too relatable and why I chose the hikikomori life.

Hua Sonrin @huasonrin.bsky.social · 6d

1.75 liters of green tea and ready for my personal Friday of the week.

Hua Sonrin @huasonrin.bsky.social · 7d

No daily consumption of energy drinks and soda. At least once or a twice a week.

Only green tea and iced coffee.

Hua Sonrin @huasonrin.bsky.social · 7d

5-6 years before I turn 40.

My challenge: book into anime dubs within that timeframe, even if it’s just an additional, background casting.

I wasted a decade in unemployment and in manual labor. I’m not wasting my decades again from not doing anything what I wanted to do in life.

Hua Sonrin @huasonrin.bsky.social · 7d

Working 10 hours in 4 days. My 3 days-off are just sleeping and few hours of gaming. No motivation to resume voiceover…

Hua Sonrin @huasonrin.bsky.social · 7d

Sure had this epic dream of being a Beiyang warlord swinging my dress sword against Sun Wukong.

Hua Sonrin @huasonrin.bsky.social · 9d

62nd week of full-time. 12 more weeks from now until 2026.

Overtime is really not for me anymore. Getting sluggish from yesterday mandatory OT.

Hua Sonrin @huasonrin.bsky.social · 10d

Not sure what would break me. Being discouraged and unwelcomed in the voiceover industry or 10 hours a day of full-time at my day job.

Currently, the latter.

Hua Sonrin @huasonrin.bsky.social · 10d

What it’s been like for 2 decades with undiagnosed and diagnosed MDD. Everyday thinking of this.

Trying not to do voluntary overtime anymore for voiceover.

I cannot say no to mandatory overtime. It can’t be helped. I’ll just need to bear through with it like I would for any other work day.

Hua Sonrin @huasonrin.bsky.social · 11d

Finding myself obsessed with beer steins, even though I don’t drink beer or alcohol.

Mother fox and Friar Tuck’s…

My request for morning shift is likely going to be denied.
